Hello GCS Grade 6 Family!
We had a busy, but successful first full week of online learning. Thank you to the parents who have partnered with Grade 6 teachers to make this possible!
Please note that we have changed the schedule for this week. Students will still have Math and Language Arts every day, but we have streamlined the schedule to ensure students are able to work well at a distance. Please refer to the schedule below. (Note: daily exercise is not included in this schedule, but students should still be exercising and completing their activity logs).

Heritage Fair Due this Week!
Grade 6 should upload an audio visual / video presentation of their Heritage Fair project to Google Drive and share with Mr. Olsen at jolsen@gcspei.ca by Tuesday, April 7th. This could include a video with a completed backboard or a Google Slide presentation with audio recorded for each slide (if some students were not able to purchase a backboard and supplies).
This presentation will be evaluated/judged.
Things to remember when recording a presentation:
What is in the background? Is the lighting appropriate? Am I looking at the camera? Is the camera appropriately positioned to capture the details of my board? Have I practiced what I am going to say enough that I can present my best?
Students should work towards completing their boards (or slides) and practice their presentations over the next week.
Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions.
